 FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL REPORTS 

LAS VEGAS SHOOTER MADE ISIS VIDEO
 Says authorities not revealing link to terror group

A former Trump campaign
official is making extraordinary claims he was leaked information from
within the White House that Las Vegas massacre gunman Stephen Paddock
made an ISIS propaganda tape and that authorities are refusing to reveal
that the mass shooting was a terror attack.
Former Massachusetts Trump campaign
official James Brower posted a series of tweets last night claiming he
was leaked information about Paddock being inspired by ISIS to carry out
the mass shooting.
“There is a video, this video will
prove the motive. He had a secret digital profile that was uncovered
over the last 24 hrs,” claims Brower.
“Motive will be pretty shocking, I won’t say much but it will definitely change a lot of things going forward,” he added.
“I’m being told the video basically
speaks about a network, they wouldn’t tell me directly if it was ISIS
but they threw little hints that it was,” Brower told Infowars.
“The reason the video more than likely
is never released is because they believe it will trigger the “cells”
he speaks of,” according to Brower.
“There should be a statement on motive soon,” he added, “They believe he was inspired by ISIS.”
He also claims that there was a second
person who helped Paddock plot the attack that the gunman was seen with
three days prior to the massacre. This individual left before the
shooting began, according to Brower. Hotel receipts suggest that Paddock was with another person days before the shooting.
Authorities have now acknowledged
that Paddock had “help” and originally planned to escape and carry out
other atrocities. His car contained fertilizer that could be used to
make explosives and 50 pounds of the explosive substance Tannerite,
clearly suggesting he was planning a car bombing.
Brower claims the source leaking his
information is an individual within the Trump cabinet. The former Trump
campaign official did previously release information about Paul Manafort being wiretapped before it became public.
Brower also claims that Paddock’s digital profile “showed he researched many of the massacres committed by IS lately in Europe.”
However, Fox News reports
that after “Analyzing Paddock’s computer, cellphone and other
electronic devices, investigators have found no obvious ideological
motive, no clear connection to extremists or activist groups or outward
display of mental illness.”
It is important to emphasize that
Infowars does not endorse the veracity of Brower’s claims and they
conflict with what officials investigating the case have revealed.
However, it’s important to add that Sheriff Joe Lombardo did acknowledge that the shooter may have been “radicalized” and that he may have had an accomplice who helped organize the plot.

As Infowars reported
on Monday, sources linked to the investigation said that the massacre
was likely a terrorist attack with links to the Middle East.

In addition, after ISIS released the
latest issue of their newsletter, which showed a picture of the Mandalay
Bay drenched in blood, New York Times correspondent Rukmini Callimachi
noted that the terror group’s claim of responsibility may not have been
false.
Callimachi goes on to point out that
“ISIS has rarely claimed attacks that were not by either their members
or sympathizers” and that “In their chatrooms, they are claiming that
the West and the media is leading a cover-up in order to hide the
“martyrdom” of their brother.”
“This group has been more right than
its been wrong,” she states, before asking that Paddock’s family be
asked if he had converted to Islam.

 Massive Evidence Mounts Vegas Shooting 
Was an ISIS Attack
 A clear picture of what happened is coming into focus
BY KIT DANIELS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

Suspected Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock maintained deep
ties to ISIS, suggests new evidence as a clear picture of what actually
happened comes into focus.

Here’s the takeaways from the evidence so far:
1) Paddock had been radicalized, either for real or
as part of a cover as he had the hallmarks of an intelligence agency
cutout. Intelligence agencies were behind the rise of ISIS.

2) Paddock worked for a major aerospace company which had connections with Skunkworks – and he held multiple pilot licenses.

3) There was more than one shooter, and Paddock was clearly not acting alone.

4) Paddock was spending millions of dollars a
year as an “apartment complex manager” while traveling the world and was
a frequent guest at casinos – and, interestingly, casinos are one of
the few legal places where someone can still launder money. You exchange
money for chips, no questions asked, and even if you lose 20% or 30%
from gambling, the casino gives you the rest of your money back when you
turn in your chips.

5) There is a major cover-up of the shooting
that is frustrating state and federal-level investigators who are being
roadblocked by deep state insiders, sources told Infowars.

6) There were over 20 firearms transported to
Paddock’s room in a casino which is under constant surveillance, even in
the hotel rooms themselves. Notice how the mainstream media was so
quick to claim Paddock was a “lone operator” the morning after the
shooting, despite this clear discrepancy.

7) Evidence is suggesting that Paddock was
possibly a gun runner for an intelligence agency, which would explain
all the guns and the other aforementioned oddities surrounding the
shooting. Even his radicalization would still fit into that narrative –
remember, former CIA Director John Brennan was rumored to have converted to Wahhabism.

This video lays out all the evidence indicating there was more than one shooter:

And, as we reported earlier, a former Trump campaign official said he was leaked information from high-level sources that Las Vegas massacre gunman Stephen Paddock made an ISIS propaganda tape.

While Infowars does not outright endorse the veracity of the
official’s claims, there’s other evidence which similarly emphasizes
Paddock’s ties to ISIS.

After a FBI source told Infowars that photos taken in the Middle East and Antifa literature was found in the suspect’s hotel room, Clark Co. Sheriff Joe Lombardo hinted the shooter may have been “radicalized” and wasn’t acting alone.


And it wasn’t until after Infowars reported the Middle Eastern
photos that officials revealed Paddock’s girlfriend had visited Dubai.

Clearly there’s more than one shooter, FBI sources confirmed to
Infowars, and one of the shooters was firing at fuel tanks near the
concert in an attempt to ignite them.



Video reveals two different types of firearms firing simultaneously.

Also, law enforcement sources believe the unidentified couple who
told concert goers they were “all going to f***ing die” if they didn’t
leave were likely part of the group behind the shooting, but later got
cold feet and were trying to warn others of the impending massacre.

ISIS featured a photo of the Mandalay Bay hotel drenched in blood
on the cover of its latest newsletter – and the terrorist group also
claimed Paddock was radicalized six months before.

New York Times correspondent Rukmini Callimachi even admitted
that “ISIS has rarely claimed attacks that were not by either their
members or sympathizers.”

As far as the Antifa connections, we reported on Tuesday how
members of Antifa are receiving military training in the Syrian Civil
War as part of a dark triad between Antifa, anarcho-communist Kurds and Kurds linked to ISIS.

 Valet Entries Prove Paddock Checked In 3 Days Before Date Given by Authorities
Valet Entries Prove Paddock Checked In 
3 Days Before Date Given by Authorities
 Gunman was in the hotel on September 25
BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
Valet entries from Mandalay
Bay prove that gunman Stephen Paddock checked in on September 25th,
three days before the official date given by authorities for when he
checked in, September 28.
Reporter Laura Loomer obtained an
image from inside the Mandalay Bay valet center which shows Paddock’s
car was first logged on September 25. Below the computer display a hand
written note is also visible that states “Stephen Paddock 9/25-10/2.”


According to Loomer’s source, the note
was written by an FBI agent when he asked valet staff to provide
details of all in-out times for Paddock’s vehicle.


According to Loomer, the picture “proves (the) FBI misled public about #StephenPaddock’s check in date.”
(CLICK IMAGES FOR ENLARGEMENT).
According to official sources, Paddock didn’t check in until September 28, three days before the massacre.
Loomer also points out that the
license plate number given out by authorities after the shooting,
19D-401, does not match with the license plate of Paddock’s Chrysler
Pacifica Touring, which is 79D-401.

Loomer tells Infowars her source claims that the FBI has since deleted the records.

As we previously reported, room service hotel receipts also show that Paddock was dining with another guest on September 27, the day before authorities said he checked in.
It is not known why authorities
maintain that Paddock checked in on September 28 when these two separate
pieces of evidence clearly show that he checked in three days before.
As we reported earlier,
despite officials asserting they have yet to recover any information
that suggests Paddock’s rampage was politically motivated, a former
Trump campaign official claims that Paddock made an ISIS tape and that
authorities are not releasing the fact that the shooting was a terrorist
attack.

 Flashback: FBI Caught Staging Terror Attack


The agency has a very shady history

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EXPANDS EXEMPTIONS FOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS OPPOSED TO OBAMACARE ABORTION PILL MANDATE

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EXPANDS EXEMPTIONS FOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS OPPOSED TO OBAMACARE ABORTION PILL MANDATE 
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 WASHINGTON — The Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) has issued “interim final rules” that would expand 
protections for religious employers who are opposed to the contraceptive
 mandate in Obamacare, also known as the “abortion pill mandate.”

“Upon further examination of the relevant provisions of the
Affordable Care Act and the administrative record on which the mandate
was based, the departments have concluded that the application of the
mandate to entities with sincerely-held religious objections to it does
not serve a compelling governmental interest,” the document reads.

It provides numerous reasons as to why the government believes that
religious organizations should be granted relief from the requirement,
including that many religious employers that had challenged the mandate
are not opposed to all contraceptives, but only those that are
considered to be potential abortifacients.

“For example, the plaintiffs in Hobby Lobby were willing to provide
coverage with no cost sharing of 14 of 18 FDA-approved women’s
contraception and sterilization methods,” the 163-page
document outlines.

Therefore, the accommodation requested—in the view of the government—was reasonable.

“With respect to organizations and entities holding those beliefs,
the fact that they are willing to provide coverage for various
contraceptive methods significantly detracts from the government
interest in requiring that they provide coverage for other contraceptive
methods to which they object,” HHS explains.

The department also recognizes that religious nonprofits were
wrongfully being treated differently than churches, even though they
operate similarly to houses of worship and hire people of faith just
like churches do.

“After considering the differential treatment of various religious
nonprofit organizations under the previous accommodation, the
departments conclude that it is appropriate to expand the exemption to
other religious nonprofit organizations with sincerely held religious
beliefs opposed to contraceptive coverage,” it writes.

The department further notes that “[s]ome of the religious nonprofit
groups challenging the accommodation claim that their employees
are required to adhere to a statement of faith which includes the
entities’ views on certain contraceptive items,” and such organizations
have a right to choose to hire individuals based on whether or not they
will respect the organization’s values.

It additionally advises that there are numerous government programs
that provide free or low-cost contraceptives for women, and therefore,
there is not a compelling government interest to force religious
employers to have to provide them as well.

“Various state programs supplement the federal programs … and 28
states have their own mandates of contraceptive coverage as a matter of
state law,” HHS explains. “This existing inter-governmental structure
for obtaining contraceptives significantly diminishes the government’s
interest in applying the mandate to employers over their sincerely held
religious objections.”

Pro-life and family organizations cheered the move, stating that people of faith should not be forced to violate their beliefs.

“Although organizations that filed civil rights lawsuits will still
need final relief from the courts, it is encouraging to see the Trump
administration affirm the principle that all Americans should be free to
peacefully live and work according to their faith and conscience
without threat of government punishment,” said Gregory Baylor of
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

“The federal government should never force Christian ministries to
violate their faith or face crippling fines in order to continue their
mission. We commend President Trump for fulfilling his promise to uphold
the religious liberties of these organizations under the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act,” also said Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel.

“There’s no other way to describe it: today’s administrative action
is a tremendous victory for conscience and religious freedom,” said CeCe
Heil of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).

As previously reported,
in May, President Trump signed an executive order that included a
recommendation that HHS consider amending regulations to accommodate the
conscience objections to the contraceptive mandate.

Numerous religious businesses, schools and nonprofit
organizations had sued the Obama administration over the mandate,
with the most high-profile cases being Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Zubik
v. Burwell, the latter of which was consolidated from seven lawsuits
that included East Texas Baptist University and the Roman Catholic
Little Sisters of the Poor.

GOVERNMENTS TURN TABLES BY SUING PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTERS

GOVERNMENTS TURN TABLES BY SUING 
PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTERS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
http://www.spokesman.com

IOWA CITY, Iowa – An Oregon parent wanted details about school
employees getting paid to stay home. A retired educator sought data
about student performance in Louisiana. And college journalists in
Kentucky requested documents about the investigations of employees
accused of sexual misconduct.

Instead, they got something else: sued by the agencies they had asked for public records.

Government bodies are increasingly turning the tables on citizens who
seek public records that might be embarrassing or legally sensitive.
Instead of granting or denying their requests, a growing number of
school districts, municipalities and state agencies have filed lawsuits
against people making the requests – taxpayers, government watchdogs and
journalists who must then pursue the records in court at their own
expense.


The lawsuits generally ask judges to rule that the records being
sought do not have to be divulged. They name the requesters as
defendants but do not seek damage awards.
Still, the recent trend has
alarmed freedom-of-information advocates, who say it’s becoming a new
way for governments to hide information, delay disclosure and intimidate
critics.

“This practice essentially says to a records requester, ‘File a
request at your peril,’ ” said University of Kansas journalism professor
Jonathan Peters, who wrote about the issue for the Columbia Journalism
Review in 2015, before several more cases were filed. “These lawsuits
are an absurd practice and noxious to open government.”

Government officials who have employed the tactic insist they are
acting in good faith. They say it’s best to have courts determine
whether records should be released when legal obligations are unclear –
for instance, when the documents may be shielded by an exemption or
privacy laws.

At least two recent cases have succeeded in blocking information while many others have only delayed the release.

State freedom-of-information laws generally allow requesters who
believe they are wrongly denied records to file lawsuits seeking to
force their release. If they succeed, government agencies can be ordered
to pay their legal fees and court costs.

Suing the requesters flips the script: Even if agencies are
ultimately required to make the records public, they typically will not
have to pay the other side’s legal bills.

“You can lose even when you win,” said Mike Deshotels, an education
watchdog who was sued by the Louisiana Department of Education after
filing requests for school district enrollment data last year. “I’m
stuck with my legal fees just for defending my right to try to get these
records.”

The lawsuit argued that the data could not be released under state
and federal privacy laws and initially asked the court to order
Deshotels and another citizen requester to pay the department’s legal
fees and court costs. The department released the data months later
after a judge ruled it should be made public.

Deshotels, a 72-year-old retired teachers union official who authors
the Louisiana Educator blog, had spent $3,000 fighting the lawsuit by
then. He said the data ultimately helped show a widening achievement gap
among the state’s poorest students, undercutting claims of progress by
education reformers.

The lawsuits have been denounced by some courts and policymakers. A
New Jersey judge in 2015 said they were the “antithesis” of open-records
policies and dismissed a case filed by a township against a person who
requested police department surveillance video footage.

In Michigan, the state House voted 108-0 earlier this year in favor
of a bill that would make it illegal for agencies to sue public records
requesters. The proposal came in response to a county’s lawsuit against a
local newspaper that had sought the personnel files of two employees
running for sheriff. A judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying the county
had to approve or deny the request.

The documents, ultimately released days before the election, showed
that one of the candidates had been disciplined for carrying on an
affair while on-duty in 2011. That candidate lost.

The Michigan bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Klint Kesto, called the
tactic “a backdoor channel to delay and put pressure on the requester”
that circumvents the state’s Freedom of Information Act.

“Government shouldn’t file a lawsuit and go on offense. Either
approve the request or deny it,” he said. “This shouldn’t be happening
anywhere in the country.”

As his bill remains pending in a state Senate committee, Michigan
State University filed a lawsuit May 1 against ESPN after the network
requested police reports related to a sexual assault investigation
involving football players. That and a number of other cases are
currently unfolding.

In April, the Portland, Oregon, school district filed a lawsuit
against parent Kim Sordyl, who is seeking records about employees on
leave for alleged misconduct after the disclosure that one psychologist
had been off for three years. Sordyl said she believes the information
will expose costly missteps by district human resources officials and
lawyers, and the district attorney has already ordered the records to be
released.

“They are going to great lengths to protect themselves and their own
mismanagement. This is retaliation,” said Sordyl, who has hired an
attorney. “Most people would give up.”

A district spokesman said the lawsuit, which also names a journalist
who requested similar information, amounts to an appeal “in an area of
public records law that we believe lacks clarity.”

“When this information is released prematurely, the district’s
position is that the employees’ right to due process is jeopardized,”
spokesman Dave Northfield said.

The University of Kentucky prevailed in January when a judge blocked
the release of records sought by its student newspaper detailing the
investigation of a professor who resigned after being accused of groping
students.

The judge agreed with the university that the records would violate
the privacy rights of students who were victims even if their names were
redacted.

While that ruling is on appeal, Western Kentucky University filed a
similar lawsuit against its paper, the College Heights Herald, which
sought records related to allegations of sexual harassment and assault
involving employees. Several other state universities released similar
documents to the newspaper, and the state attorney general has ruled
that they are public records.

“It’s not a good feeling knowing that we are being sued,” said Herald
editor-in-chief Andrew Henderson, whose publication has been raising
money to pay legal fees. “I just hope that something beneficial comes
out of all of this for everyone involved.”

ISLAMIC IMAM DELIVERS PRAYER BEFORE U.S. HOUSE CLAIMING GOD IS “EXPERIENCED THROUGH MULTIPLE PATHS”

 AN ECUMENICAL IMAM IN CONGRESS 
PRAYING FOR DIVERSITY?

ISLAMIC IMAM DELIVERS PRAYER BEFORE U.S. HOUSE CLAIMING GOD IS 
“EXPERIENCED THROUGH MULTIPLE PATHS”
BY HEATHER CLARK
 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 WASHINGTON — An Islamic imam delivered a prayer on 
Wednesday before the U.S. House of Representatives, claiming that God is
 simply known by “different names” and experienced through “multiple 
paths.”

Abdullah Antepli, the chief representative of Muslim affairs at Duke
University, had been invited to deliver the invocation by Democratic
Congressman David Price of North Carolina.


“The holy one, as your creation, we call you by different names,
experience you through multiple paths,” Antepli began. “Our human
diversity is from you. As the creator of all, you made us different.
Enable us to understand, appreciate and celebrate our differences.”


“Teach and guide us to turn these differences into opportunities,
richness and strength. Prevent us from turning them into sources of
division, polarization, hate and bigotry,” he continued.

Antepli also asserted in his prayer that America has made progress by being pluralistic and of many religions.

“We are far from being perfect, but came a long way in creating a
multi-cultural, multi-religious and pluralistic society by making in
America ‘You will be judged by what you do, not by who you are’ as one
of our foundational promise,” he said.


“The most compassionate one, help us to preserve our achievements in
this regard,” Antepli continued. “Do not let the destructive forces of
division and exclusion erode our ideals, our firm commitment to
diversity and pluralism. Empower us and these legislators to further
improve the culture of inclusion and welcome to all in our nation and
beyond.”

He closed his prayer in “your most holy and beautiful names”—plural.
Wednesday was Antepli’s second visit to the U.S. House of
Representatives, as he also delivered the invocation before lawmakers in
2010. He was later asked to participate in consultations with the U.S.
Department of State under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and
John Kerry, according to Religion News Service.
“He’s a remarkable interfaith interlocutor,” Rep. Price told the
outlet. “He strives for full acceptance and appreciation of other
traditions, not simply wanting mere tolerance, but to really engage and
talk about the substance of one’s faith.”
Prior to his appearance, Antepli also participated in a discussion on
“Faith in Public Life” at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center moderated by
Muslim podcaster and author Rabia Chaudry.
As previously reported,
the House also bowed their heads for an Islamic prayer in 2014 in being
led by Imam Hamad Ahmad Chebli of the Islamic Society of Central
Jersey.
“In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful,” he
began. “Praise be to Allah, the cherisher, the sustainer of the world,
the most gracious, the most merciful master of the Day of Judgment. Thee
do we worship and thine do we seek.”
“Guide us to the safe path,” Chebli continued. “The god of the
prophets and the messenger says in the Koran [that] he does not place a
responsibility on you greater than you can bear. Everyone will receive
the good they have earned and vice versa.”
Jesus declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life;
no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.” Isaiah 45:5 also reads, “I am
the Lord, and there is none else. There is no God beside Me.”

 
 

CHRISTIAN FLAG NOT ALLOWED TO FLY IN BOSTON

CHRISTIAN FLAG NOT ALLOWED TO FLY IN BOSTON
BY DR. DUKE PESTA
 City officials in Boston, MA, have denied a Christian organization’s
request to raise a Christian flag. For a number of years, citizens of
Boston could petition the city to fly a particular flag for a short
period of time. Flags that have been chosen include Communist China,
Communist Cuba, and various flags representing progressive social
justice causes. But when Hal Shurtleff, founder of Camp Constitution,
petitioned to have the Christian Flag flown, city officials denied his
request. Dr. Duke Pesta speaks to Hal about the ongoing situation.
